Rain rain... don't go away quite YET

Woa. From hot and sunny camping weather bliss to rain and drizzle overnight! What a switch in gears.

I tend to change my agenda according to the weather. So if it's hot and sunny in the Wet Coast, you can bet I run towards the sun in a real hurry! Hence all the camping lately.

But now... rain. Ugh. I didn't expect this. So what will I do now?

Well, there's a reason I went camping. I ran away from alot of undone projects begging me for attention. I'll spare you everything undone, but here are a few outstanding indoor projects that I trip over hourly.

#1. Armoire Agony Project

I never did show you what I ended up doing with this armoire I use to have in my diningroom/kitchen office. For a reason. It's in transition and it's a big M E S S !

#2. Closet On The Floor Project

The thrift store cube van pulled into the driveway next door not long ago. Giddy, I enticed them to my own driveway where they took a large armoire, 2 side dressers, a desk, bench, and other riff raff. Basically what that spelled is, I was left with no storage for my clothes. Most of this stuff now sits down the hallway preparing for a garage sale or thrift drop off. But I'm still stuck because...

I don't have a closet. When I painted it over a year ago, I never did put the hanging apparatus back because I threw it out. I need a closet. I really really REALLY need a closet!

#3. The Circus Desk Project

Oh.. .and of course, there's this ongoing challenge before me. I totally need to finish my desk because every time the cats jump on the planks, they flip off. Quite the little circus production we have going on here.

Proof! Beethoven is sitting on the EDGE of the unattached boards no less. How that laptop isn't on the floor yet is a circus performance in itself.

Project #4. FOR SALE project

Project #3 led me to this luxurious patio holding ground. How do you take your coffee paintbrush?

It's full of great furniture with GREAT potential but no where to put it. So my plans? Decorate it up with Funky Junk flair and sell it. Yes, I'm going to start selling my creations! So if you're local and desire a FJI original, it's on it's way! Watch the blog and Facebook for it.

Trust me. I could go on and on but these are actually in the way of leading a normal life, so they'll be among the first I attack.

But, I  need help.

Which project would you like to see completed first?

Plus... I'm counting on...

GD4 to the rescue!

Does the weather change your direction as well?

Are you a professional procrastinator too?

We have been busy!

See this lovely array of junk highly sought after merchandise? This is my staging storage area. Which is in my basement. Which was all over the floor. I kid you not. Wait till you see the pictures! I admit I'm a little scared to show you. Promise to still be my friend if I do?!?

We were left with no choice to go for it. Boxes upon boxes have been coming from my mom's house and with no longer room to walk, it was simply time to shuffle. :)

So over the weekend, my son and I gutted the basement to prepare for some shiny new storage. We are creating a staging/craft/workshop environment! Finally! More on that front later.

Wanna know what else makes me positively giddy? (unlike photos my son takes of me without notice) But this is special because I really WAS happy and you'll soon see why. The mass mayhem has led to other long overdue projects!

My son and I single handedly refurbished one sick auto pencil sharpener. Ohhh I've missed this thing! EEEE! Happy! Timeframe on this one.. at least a year.

 

We FINALLY rehung a closet door that's been off for... oh... I dunno. A year or 2? No idea. I lost count. My son is showing his pure exhaustion from this massive project... he's gonna be a movie star actor one day. :)

Check out that undone tile work. 2-3 years. Yeah yeah... one day. :)

And my totally finest most awesome moment was when I got around to changing out one crappy monitor for another SLIGHTLY less crappy monitor in my shop. Previously I was viewing my vehicle graphics work under a black light effect and now I can see! This delay was... eh... maybe 6 months long?!?

More more more to come on the above topics! This is just a nattering of how I tend to delay things because.. well, I procrastinate with yukky projects I'm simply much too busy. :)

But I've also been spending a great deal of time on another event. Building post after post, for...

the upcoming 2000 Followers Event! Ever host a series of back to back giveaways and other fun such stuff? They are FUN! But the behind the scenes work involved is not for the faint of heart. It's a good thing I type fast. :)

The above button is avail for any blog that wishes to help spread the word. I am not being reimbursed in any way for this event, so I'd consider the gesture as a special thank-you for our generous giveaway sponsors. The button simply grabs as a picture which you can size to anything you desire. So, thanks if you do!

So where are we at on this fine Tuesday, 11:11 am Pacific Time?

Oh goodness... I need to stop playing and go create more posts!

See you soon when the clock strikes 2000. :)

Are you procrastinating on any projects like I was?

Do tell! I could use a slight diversion from time to time so I'd love to hear what's gathering dust in your neck 'o the woods. Plus, it'll just make me feel better!
